Two Days to Take Off!!

Wow! It's finally time.  After seven months of planning and preparing, the time to get on that plane and head to Kenya is here.  It's been an incredible journey already. Preparing for this trip has taken me on a roller coaster of emotions and experiences, challenging and stretching me beyond my comfort and I haven't even left home yet! Some have wondered how I could feel so overwhelmed and all I can say is that it's all in the details.  I am a natural worrier, therefore, I have worried about and analyzed every possible detail of this trip. Can I handle the shots?  What should I wear?  How are my kids going to handle this?  How is my husband going to handle the kids?  How can I possibly encourage the Kenyan women and children I get to meet?  What do I have to offer?  How do I avoid getting sick?  How do I graciously eat the food???  (Yes, that is a huge fear of mine).  What excites me is the privilege to be a part of this team and the honor of getting to meet the women of Kenya.  My heart's desire is to show them they are truly and deeply loved.  I can't wait to see how God uses this time and I can't wait to tell you all about it! 
With joy and anticipation,

Katie
